Frankenstein, the whole gothic novel by Mary Shelley, in an inexpensive paperback reprint for readers who just want the story.
A young scientist works out how to animate dead matter, then runs from what he has made. The creature he abandons asks him for one thing, is refused, and spends everything that follows making him pay for it.
About this edition
The printing comes from an independent print-on-demand platform. It gives you the text and a cover, and that is the whole offer.
If you want footnotes, an editor's introduction or a scholarly edition for coursework, buy a different printing. If you want a cheap reading copy you can annotate or lend out, this one does the job.
From the publisher
Victor Frankenstein has an aptitude for science and whilst at university he discovers a secret that allows him to impart life to non-living matter, and so his creation is born. The creature is not quite what Victor expected and so he flees in fear. Desperately alone the creature begs for a mate so as to have someone who wont fear him.
Victor reluctantly agrees but, fearing the creature to be evil, he changes his mind after imaging them to breed and create a danger to mankind. The creature decides he must have revenge and Frankenstein is plunged into his very worst nightmare.
